Fitness Functions
- Technical authority for a specific business capability; with all data and business rules within the context
- Autonomous
- Share contracts/schema, not class or type
- Interactions controlled by policy
- Boundaries
- Explicit boundaries
- Linguistic boundaries
- Domain expert boundaries
- Data
- Flow
- Ownership
- Uniqueness
- May consider, but may be wrong
- Existing business process steps
- Existing organizational boundaries
Non-Fitness Functions
- If only functionality - then just a function
- If only data - then just an entity or database
Notes
Identifying the Core
- Refactoring to segregate the core feels very risky
- Probably a lot of additional cost, without a clear cost savings
- Isn't that true for the whole thing?
- Hard to see and feel the value immediately
- Hard to see the value until you have 100% identified the core
- Abstract core
- Didn't remember this part from the book, but like this
- Having a clear set of base classes means we don't have to move the core classes
- Domain model != data model
- Can a single bounded context have both core and not core in it?
- We don't think so...
- There are certain generic implementation details that can be abstracted away from callers
- In that case you have supporting things that are not "core"
- Are data frames and matrices in our bounded context?
- Can we think of a concrete example?
- Course discovery is a domain
- Search is a bounded context
- What about the ORM for elastic search?
- No - we wouldn't even talk about this
- They seem to indicate that whole domains are either core, supporting or generic
Bounded Contexts
Core Domains:
- Authoring learning component
- Launch Course Run
- Rich ecosystem of learning components
- Revenue sharing
- Learner consume content to achieve learning outcomes
- Determining learning pathway
